4. Christian Nationalists are Trump's biggest cult.

He could not have been elected without them. And now we have at least three of them on the Supreme Court. These are people actively working to turn the US into a theocracy, not of true Christian beliefs but one where the belief is that white people with great wealth are the true leaders of this country. They have given up on recruiting the country to their religion and they have turned to political power to achieve their goals. I’ve read that Christian Nationalists are against public education, which is one reason Betsy DeVos tried to destroy public schools, to be replaced by private Christian schools where all students can be indoctrinated into their brand of crazy—like the Taliban. Josh Hawley is another Christian Nationalist. Other names of groups are Dominionists and Opus Dei and I suspect many others, some of whom no doubt helped plan and fund January 6.
